Clinton has been under scrutiny over his recent remarks about Monica Lewinsky and the #MeToo movement.

He became visibly agitated when he was asked about both during an NBC interview.

He also said that he doesn't owe Lewinsky a personal apology and added that he left the White House $16 million in debt due to the scandal.

Franken resigned from the U.S. Senate last year following numerous sexual misconduct allegations against him.

"It seemed to me that there were 29 women on 'Saturday Night Live' that put out a statement for him, and that the first and most fantastic story was called, I believe, into question," Clinton also said on Thursday.

Female staff members of "Saturday Night Live" supported Franken in a statement following the claims.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff of California said that "people have suffered enough" because of President Trump and that a real leader would re-open the part of the government that has been shuttered since December.
